"It's a lot of people that probably applied for this position, and look who is here. I'm ready for whatever comes my way. I'm ready to fight, ready to get these guys prepared and ready to win." -Lakatriona Brunson For more on Brunson, please visit

Being a strong, fearless woman makes me feel beautiful. I love the way I look and feel when I am two hours into my training and my skin is glistening with sweat and my clothes are drenched because I have given it all I've got." -Laila Ali "If I had gone to the [Olympic] Games and failed, there wouldn't be anyone to follow in my footsteps. It encouraged the rest of the women to work harder and fight harder." -Alice Coachman "My style is kind of eclectic and I don't like to do the same thing over and over again. I like to have fun and explore myself so you won't see the same design." -Venus Williams "We live in a world where sports have the potential to bridge the gap between racism, sexism and discrimination. The 2012 Olympic Games was a great start but hopefully what these games taught us is that if women are given an opportunity on an equal playing field the possibilities for women are endless." -Jackie Joyner-Kersee "Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the colored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina." -Althea Gibson "Never let another person's misconceptions about your race, gender or religion hinder you from reaching your goals." -Ibtihaj Muhammad "We make the insane and unreasonable become possible. That's what action sports are all about; we put our bodies on the line. That's what makes it so cool; we go out there and it doesn't matter the risk or what the outcome might be. There is nothing better than proving people wrong. It's just a feeling that all of us athletes live for -- that moment when we defy what everyone said is not possible." -Dallas Friday |
AuthorHi, I'm Jenna and I'm a sports fan! I've been avidly watching sports since 2011 because I found that by watching sports, I would be able to communicate with my dad and brother better. Ever since I got into sports, I've been able to enjoy myself more when I go to sporting events with my family. Archives
